A little bit about myself ...
I have always wanted to restore an old car, but was never sure what kind until I came across the MGA. I had never heard of them, only MGBs, and immediately fell in love with the looks. I soon found one for sale on Craigslist in Spokane, Washington and made some inquiries. It turned out the seller had purchased it some 12 years ago, intending to fix it as a present up for his daughter's college graduation. As he put it, "Neither one happened," so his wife wanted it out of the yard. I towed it home and am in the process of restoring it as a 50th birthday present for my wife (although it will be a belated gift).
